Weather Briefing
MVFRLeeds Bradford Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 14 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 12-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light RADZ. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light RADZ between 18:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Leeds Bradford Airport
Overview
Leeds Bradford Airport serves the metropolitan areas of Leeds and Bradford in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Located at 681 feet above mean sea level, the airport is a medium-sized facility handling regional and commercial traffic. Its strategic location in northern England provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 64% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Pilots can expect significant variability, with Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions present 36% of the time. Temperature ranges from -5°C to 20°C, with an average of 8°C, presenting potential seasonal operational considerations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (14/32) extends 7,381 feet and is constructed of concrete. Winds predominantly arrive from the southwest (225°) at an average speed of 9.6 knots, with maximum recorded gusts of 33 knots. Terrain surrounding the airport suggests potential wind shear and turbulence considerations during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of 6.5 knots. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, though fog occurs in 8.2% of observations. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for flight operations.
